Toyota RAV4 Shocks & Struts

When your Toyota RAV4 performs well on rough terrain while off-roading, you should be grateful to its suspension system. And if you happen to notice any differences in handling, then you should begin with double-checking of its shocks and struts. There are plenty of different issues which your shocks and struts may experience, especially with higher mileage. Your Toyota RAV4 won’t be able to remain level while having considerable nosedives also known as squats. Also, you may experience bouncing while driving on rough terrain, over bumps, ridges, and so on, which means that your shocks and struts are unable to do their job properly.

Also, shocks and struts may fail due to bent rods or punctured cylinders. One more tell-tale sign is leaky shocks and struts, with synthetic or mineral hydraulic oil leaking out of them. And of course, last but not least, you may have difficulties handling your Toyota RAV4, both on the city streets and in the countryside. While being a mindful vehicle owner, you should inspect and replace your Toyota RAV4 shocks & struts once in every 50,000 miles, or as suggested by the automaker while replacing damaged parts as soon as possible.
